+ | The core team of FoAM bxl, including me, started our macrotransiency with the new moon in February 2016, carving out time to lay fallow and pursue things that “there isn’t time for”, to explore the unknown and embrace the unexpected. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This page is the informal log of my transiency process, in reverse chronological order. | ||

+ | An emotional week. Painting the colours in the room of my son into the the plane white walls. It started as a very practical thing to do but with every stroke brush it became a sort of ritual of saying good buy to the childhood of the boy. | ||

+ | This week also made me understand how much i dislike organising multiple events at the same time. At the moment i'm not used to read and respond to so many emails concerning matters that has nothing to do with each other. | ||

+ | It has been a month and a bit of our transiency. I have to admit it flue by extreemly quickly and i still have a feeling my transiency didn't start yet. Even it is not so much happening at FoAM Bxl (i'm only engaged in teaching in two schools and taking care of the studio) very often i get a feeling of panic that i'm forgetting to do something. | ||
+ | The only remedy for that is to stand up and persui all those experiments i've been putting away or never taking time to document it... | ||

+ | After a few months of waiting finally the book by Matthew Biancaniello "Eat your drink" has arrived. Lots of new interesting stuff to try out and new ideas of what can be done. I'm also wondering why i still don't have a blog or any other way of documenting all those recipes i invent? | ||

+ | -Mapping out future plans of an ongoing event Migruojantys pauksciai. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As a reflection i was thinking how great it was to have Hosting Craft crash cours thought by Maja. Even i didn't think i have a talent for facilitating groups or events on my own, now it is so much easier to improvise with different methods and yet keep everyone on track and achieve results that i was asked for. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On the other hand last week was constantly surrounded by few people. I seem to attract them to tell their problems to me.I do try to avoid it but from time to time it gets to me... Coming back i feel i absorbed so many troubles that my body is aching day and night. And this time for sure not because i was doing to much, but because troubles of the others found the way inside of me... | ||
